Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thanks, Kris and Marcy! It's great to be back (although it won't be especially frequent, this board is just too busy for me to keep up with!). I have a fetal echocardiogram scheduled next week. Has anyone had this done? I think it's just an ultrasound of the baby's heart but am curious about others' experiences. > > > Hi, everyone! I've been gone for a while and thought it was about > > time to check back in.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Thank you!!! Yes, my outlook is much improved. I'm sure my husband is relieved I'm better for more reasons than worry! : ) Maybe it's some kind of training program for parenthood. You know, " Competent career woman gets butt kicked by baby. " Glad I can laugh about it now! (somewhat ; ) > > Hi, everyone! I've been gone for a while and thought it was about > > time to check back in.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 I've not had one done, but I think you are right. Let us know how it goes please. I understand if you can't keep up with the mail, but drop in and give us updates so we know how you are doing. Marcy Re: Hullo Again > Thanks, Kris and Marcy!
